“A small randomized trial in girls with low magnesium intake found greater hip bone-mineral accrual with magnesium oxide, but it does not prove that supplements prevent or reverse osteoporosis in adults. Magnesium interacts with other nutrients, including vitamin D.”

“Vitamin D is crucial for many aspects of infant development. Breast milk contains negligible amounts of vitamin D and is typically considered inadequate to prevent vitamin D deficiency in exclusively breastfed infants.”

“Providing patients with calcifediol may improve vitamin D status faster than native vitamin D — that takes time for the body to process. This may be particularly important in the acute care setting where time is of the essence.”

“Interestingly, phase 2 enzymes also appear to play a role in the maintenance and redox recycling of the essential vitamins A, C, and E. The primary means by which sulforaphane induces phase 2 enzymes is via nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2, or Nrf2.”

“In the context of COVID-19, a large associative study suggested that lower 25-hydroxyvitamin D are strongly associated with higher SARS-CoV-2 test positivity rates. In this clip, Dr. Roger Seheult and Dr. Rhonda Patrick discuss how to assess vitamin D requirements and its toxicity potential.”

“Q: Do polyphenols suppress the benefits of exercise? A: Some direct antioxidants (such as vitamins C and E) can reduce physiological adaptations to exercise when taken in large doses close to time of exercise.”

“Mounting evidence suggests that vitamin D has a much broader role than initially thought — including regulating many genes and participating in the immune system. In the setting of COVID-19, vitamin D deficiency can lead to imbalances in the renin-angiotensin-system, a critical regulator of blood pressure, inflammation, and body fluid homeostasis.”

“Adults with alcohol use disorder have a 20%–50% greater prevalence of calcium deficiency, a 25%–50% greater prevalence of magnesium deficiency, a 6%–80% greater prevalence of deficiencies in many B vitamins, and a 14%–58% greater prevalence of deficiencies in vitamins C, D, E, and K.”

“A randomized placebo-controlled trial involved more than 600 participants over the age of 65 years who supplemented with or without 200 IUs of vitamin E per day along with a daily capsule containing 50 percent of the RDA for essential micronutrients, including zinc, for one year.”

“Similarly, levels of antioxidant vitamin C and vitamin E are reduced in smokers' breast milk, promoting a pro-oxidative state in the infant. This finding was demonstrated in a study that compared levels of ethane, a marker of oxidative stress, in the exhaled air of infants.”
